Patricia Ann McNeely

Patricia Ann McNeely, born on April 18, 1945, in Logan, West Virginia, to Burl and Cynthia (Niece) Dingess, passed away December 18, 2024, at the Lutheran Kosciusko Hospital in Warsaw, Indiana.

Patricia was a dedicated homemaker and a remarkable woman who devoted her life to raising seven children while supporting her husband while he worked outside the home. Her unwavering commitment to her family was evident in every aspect of her life.

Patricia was known for her incredible cooking skills and her garden, which she tended with love and care. She embodied strength, often giving selflessly to those in need. Her storytelling ability was a source of joy for her family, and her love for music, often dancing in the kitchen.

Among her proudest accomplishments was her marriage to Mose Edward McNeely on June 9, 1967. Together, they forged a loving life, with seven children, until his passing on January 5, 2005. Before M. Edward’s passing, they were members at Emmanuel Free Baptist Church in Wabash. Patricia's faith was a guiding principle in her life; she frequently spoke about the Bible and its significance to her, imparting her wisdom to her loved ones.

The loving memory of Patricia McNeely will be forever cherished by her sons, Robert, Paul, Mark, and Joe (Sherry) McNeely, all of North Manchester; daughters, Tina (Dennis) King, Wabash, Lisa (Bryan) Coburn, Wabash, and Melody (Wallace) Dingess, Servia; brother, Dallas Dingess; sisters, Loretta (Chuck) Pratt, Warsaw and Linda (Jerry) Mora, Arizona; ten grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren.
